Rose Bowl travel boosts business in Wis.
Badgers make third trip to Rose Bowl
The Rose Bowl is booting businesses for travel agencies in Wisconsin.
Shortly after Fox World Travel in Greenfield opened Sunday morning, Teresa Sawejka took the first call from a Badger fan looking to travel to the Rose Bowl.
"We're expecting a very busy day today, so we have one charter flight out of Madison and one charter flight out of Milwaukee," said Sawejka.
The Rose Bowl packages from Fox World include non-stop flights, transportation, hotels and game tickets, which Sawejka said translates into business.
"Oh, it's creates so much excitement for our state," said Sawejka.
As it will be the Badgers' third trip to the Rose Bowl in three years, there is some question of how many fans will want to make the trip. Jennifer Cagle, of Elm Grove Travel, told WISN 12 News she expected moderate interest.
"Since they've been there recently, historically, the next one isn't always as big. But that's good for those that want to go because that helps with the pricing," said Cagle.
Agents at Fox World Travel told 12 News the four-night package costs about $2,300.

I have tried the tarball installation of thunar volman, both from tarball and svn. After some effort it compiled and installed, but:

Do you have the 0.3.2 version of Exo?
0.3 is not enough, you really need version 0.3.2. Running exo-csource -v will show you the right version.
Apologies. Here's the version check.

I retried to reinstall exo 3.2 as follows

Many thanks.
Well and is libexo-hal-0.3.so.0 indeed missing in /usr/local/lib? If so, maybe you don't have the hal build files on your system. You can check this by running the ./configure in exo, there will be a line like this at the end: HAL support: no/yes.
It seems a no on both:
$ locate libexo-hal-0.3.so.0
~/exo-0.3.2$ ./configure
Build Configuration:
* HAL support: yes
* Debug Support: minimum
* Python Support: no
Well you can add the /usr/local/lib path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root, that might solve the problem.
The path was already in the file so I ldconfigged and volman started working.
I logged out and back in to make sure everything was working but seem to have trashed X.
Now I am in trouble and back to win 98.
Here's the output from .xsessionerrors:
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "x"

and make sure that it includes the following path:
I exported /etc/xdg to the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS environment variable to no avail.
Help help help
First: it's impossible this is caused by ldconfig. Second: I have no idea what is causing this, you can try clearing the saved sessions (rm -R ~/.cache/sessions).......
OK, back on Debian with twm [nope, IceWM], so X is _not_ trashed, it's got to do with XFCE.
Good news is that thunar-volman now works like a charm :-| but XFCE won't start up.
Clearing the cache did not help BUT come to think of it you are right, I did do something I wouldn't do again and managed to trace what I did:
from http://www.corsac.net/rss.php?cat=debian
Hal support is indeed not enabled in i386 build (it is for ppc
builds) on debian.corsac.net. I won't rebuild Xfce 4.4 for i386
with exo hal support enabled, as I don't really have currently
enough power to do that more than once in a while.
But ema has begun to upload Xfce 4.4 package to experimental, so
exo (with hal support enabled) is available on Debian Experimental
If you want to test it, add experimental sources to your
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ experimental
Then update and install exo:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install libexo-0.3-0/experimental
At that point aptitude certainly trashed OOcalc which I reinstalled. The XFCE session was not damaged, it kept running fine until I logged out. Maybe a config file was trashed.
Here's what actually happened (I ctrl-c'd it when it was removing OO-calc)

Would resinstalling XFCE be an option?
The problem with XFCE startup dissolved into nothing: After installing and using IceWM the entire afternoon, including Thunar and thunar-volman, logging out and logging back in choosing XFCE session on the session manager did the trick.
ldconfig definitely got thunar-volman working.
Many many thanks & kudos Nick for your great support.

For a number years, efforts by nationally known lead researcher professor Howard W. Mielke had Adams and others writing legislation and advocating at the state Capitol, Adams said. She came away from the experience with the realization that it's one thing to write bills and another thing to force bureaucrats to follow through with them, Adams explained.

The lack of furniture in low income homes, resulting in clothing scattered on the floor and becoming susceptible to lead dust, is an example of the human reality that makes reform hard, Adams, speaking of lead abatement, Nike Dunk Entourage said.
"Nobody is fixing anything," she said.
"Is he a fighter?" Adams, leaning over the table at a coffee shop, asked about Perske . "No. Am I a fighter? Yes."
But problems, too, are complex.
"You don't have a lot of wins as an environmentalist," she said.
She grew up in a poor family Nike Blazer High
Because she could not get time off from work, Adams felt it wasn't worth fighting the city citation in court, she said.
Encouragement by a customer at her restaurant sparked Adams to dive into the political battle over the then proposed Hennepin County incinerator and issues of lead pollution. She was living in a Victorian style home in the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis at the time.
Adams described herself, in the email, as diligently trying to improve conditions in a park ensnared by legal difficulties.

According to a Melrose city official, the city ticketed Adams in December 2006, while park owner, over the lack of a rental license. In an email, Adams said she plead guilty to not having the rental license posted.

While fond of Sartell Mayor Joe Perske, a likely 6th District Democratic candidate, Adams depicted herself as the better candidate.
Adams talks of restoring "participatory democracy," of going to Washington with legislation and ideas from the district. She expressed chagrin, for instance, regarding the perceived tendency of nonprofits to dominate the debate about low income housing at the expense of landlords.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 27, 2009) - After three weeks of preseason, the ETSU volleyball team will take the floor for the first time in the 2009 season at the Comfort Inn and Suites Invitational at Morehead State in Morehead, Ky.
The Bucs have back-to-back matches Friday taking on Chattanooga at 1 p.m. and James Madison at 4:30 p.m. ETSU closes out the tournament on Saturday at 2 p.m. against the host Morehead State Eagles.
Coming off of a rebuilding year in 2008, the ETSU volleyball team looks stronger than ever with a very experienced squad coming into the 2009 season. Head coach Lindsey Devine has had a lot of success since taking over the helm for the Buccaneers making four straight Atlantic Sun conference tournament appearances. The 2008 season saw its share of ups and downs, but a first ever A-Sun tournament victory over host Mercer highlighted the Buccaneer campaign.
Devine returns all but three players from last year including six of the seven starters. Seniors Amanda Youell (Middleburg, Fla.) and Kristan Provchy (Norton, Ohio) are looking to make a statement in their final season in an ETSU uniform, while Whitney Cogburn (Kingsport, Tenn.), Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.), Lauren Baufield (Plymouth, Minn.), Dani Howe (Hermitage, Tenn.) and Desiree Dyck (Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan) all have two years under their belt and have only continued to improve since stepping on campus in 2007. Dyck, who missed the first half of the 2008 season with an injury, hopes to return to the dominance she showed in her freshman year which earned her A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors.
The Bucs will look for contributions from Jen Neice (Allen, Texas), Howe and Baufield in the back row. Neice had a great freshman campaign finishing third in the conference in digs and placed fifth all-time in the ETSU single season record book. She is an energetic defensive leader who is counted on for her consistent passing. Howe will look to improve upon her team leading 40 aces in 2008 as she has developed an outstanding serve, and will be a primary passer and defensive catalyst for the Bucs. Baufield is a very versatile player who is capable of playing several positions. A returning team captain, Baufield's leadership and competitive drive will fuel the ETSU success.
Youell will be quarterbacking the Buccaneer offense, while Cogburn adds depth to the setter position. The pair combined for 1307 assists which was fourth best in the conference. Youell's court perception and ability to spread the offense makes the ETSU attack strong. She also adds an extra threat on the offensive with the ability to attack at any moment.
At the net, the Bucs bring back a very deep group including a pair of A-Sun All-Freshmen selections in McKayla Barber (Columbus, Ind.) and Dyck. Barber had a very strong 2008 season leading the team in blocks. Her athleticism and strong arm make her a go-to middle for the Bucs. Dyck has shown the ability to be one of the best outside hitters in the conference with her dynamic approach and powerful arm swing. Cogburn, a strong left-handed right side, will be another offensive option for the Buccaneers. Because of her versatility, Cogburn will be expected to play all the way around. ETSU also returns middle blocker Jamie Stancliff (Advance, N.C.) and outside hitter Erin Ryan who can put up big numbers for the Bucs. Joining the squad this season are Georgia State transfer Alysa Long (Romulus, Mich.) and freshman Chentel Pate (Nashville, Tenn.). Long's great athleticism and outstanding vertical make her a dangerous player off the bench, while Pate is a true athlete who adds depth to the Buccaneer front row.
The 2009 schedule will test the Bucs early with matches against Chattanooga, Morehead State and 2008 NCAA Tournament participant Liberty. ETSU will also face a round robin conference format for the second straight year and will challenge Florida Gulf Coast, Belmont, Lipscomb and Jacksonville for the A-Sun title.

I knew of Pink Floyd from a friend of mine and began to love their psychedelic, push it to the limits, music. I like classic rock and I do have a 4 of their albums.
So RIP and I'm sure there are many here in GV who are way more familiar with Mr. Wright's work than lil ol me.
Anyway, as a Pink Floyd fan, just thought I'd post this....(from CNN btw)
LONDON, England (AP) -- Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group Pink Floyd, died Monday. He was 65.
Richard Wright (right) and a reunited Pink Floyd earn cheers at 2005's Live 8.
Pink Floyd's spokesman Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member's family did not want to give more details about his death.
Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason in college and joined their early band, Sigma 6. Along with the late Syd Barrett, the four formed Pink Floyd in 1965.
The group's jazz-infused rock and drug-laced multimedia "happenings" made them darlings of the London psychedelic scene, and their 1967 album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," was a hit.
In the early days of Pink Floyd, Wright, along with Barrett, was seen as the group's dominant musical force. The London-born musician and son of a biochemist wrote songs and sang.
The band released a series of commercially and critically successful albums including 1973's "Dark Side of the Moon," which has sold more than 40 million copies. Wright wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" for that album, and later worked on the group's epic compositions such as "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" from the "Wish You Were Here" album.

But tensions grew between Waters, Wright and fellow band member David Gilmour. The tensions came to a head during the making of "The Wall" when Waters insisted Wright be fired. As a result, Wright was relegated to the status of session musician on the tour of "The Wall," and did not perform on Pink Floyd's 1983 album "The Final Cut."
Wright formed a new band Zee with Dave Harris, from the band Fashion, and released one album, "Identity," with Atlantic Records.
Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and Wright began recording with Mason and Gilmour again, releasing the albums "The Division Bell" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" as Pink Floyd. Wright also released the solo albums "Wet Dream" (1978) and "Broken China" (1996).
In July 2005, Wright, Waters, Mason and Gilmour reunited to perform at the "Live 8" charity concert in London -- the first time in 25 years they had been onstage together.
Wright also worked on Gilmour's solo projects, most recently playing on the 2006 album "On An Island" and the accompanying world tour.
Gilmour paid tribute to Wright on Monday, saying his input was often forgotten.
"He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognized Pink Floyd sound," he said. "I have never played with

"Mr. Blackwell," 86, whose annual worst-dressed lists skewered celebs for their fashion mistakes, died Sunday of complications from an intestinal infection.
Blackwell began his infamous criticisms almost 50 years ago, way before Joan Rivers and the fashion flock honed style sarcasm to the daily lambasting it's become in mags such as Us Weekly and InTouch as well as on TV shows and the internet.

He died Tuesday in Los Angeles at age 66 after a long battle with the illness.
Chrichton was a brand-name author, known for his stories of disaster and systematic breakdown, such as the rampant microbe of "The Andromeda Strain" or dinosaurs running amok in "Jurassic Park," one of his many books that became major Hollywood movies.
"Through his books, Michael Crichton served as an inspiration to students of all ages, challenged scientists in many fields, and illuminated the mysteries of the world in a way we could all understand," his family said in a statement.
The 6-foot-9-inch author was also a screenwriter and filmmaker, earning producing and writing credits for the film versions of many of his titles. He also created the TV hospital series "ER" in 1994.
In recent years, he was the rare writer to get on well with President Bush, perhaps because of his skepticism about global warming, which Crichton addressed in the 2004 novel, "State of Favor." Crichton's views were strongly condemned by environmentalists, who alleged that the author was hurting efforts to pass legislation to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.
A new novel by Crichton had been tentatively scheduled to come next month, but publisher HarperCollins said the book was postponed indefinitely because of his illness.
"While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us and entertained us all while doing so his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes," his family said.

Electropocalypse, a game about electricity. Most of us take electronics for granted, but the inner working of circuits is an exciting and mysterious world. In Electropocalypse you learn the magic of circuit design through one of everyone's favorite activities: blowing stuff up!
In Electropocalypse, you are apprentice to the world famous Professor Tesla. You dream of mastering electricity but you usually find yourself melting your projects in a plume of smoke. A strange disturbance causes everybody to forget everything about electricity, except you. You are humanity's only hope to solve this mystery, fixing circuits along the way. You will need to defuse bomb circuits, build Professor Tesla's super weapon, and save your city from chaos and destruction.
Electropocalypse is a puzzle game where each puzzle is a circuit that needs to be fixed or altered. The circuits are "live" so you must be careful—wire something the wrong way and everything blows up in a shower of sparks. Although it's kinda fun to blow up your circuits and see all the pretty lights, this is not just pyromaniacal entertainment—to build safe and reliable circuits, every engineer must understand where the limits are. And what better way to find them than to cross them! This chapter in Electropocalypse covers: switches, current and voltage, resistors, using voltmeters and ammeters, series vs. parallel circuits, polarity, and Ohms law.
Do you have the circuit skills to save your honor, your pet robot, and your city? Find out now—play Electropocalypse!
System Requirements
- You must have an internet connection during the game so it can talk to the circuit analyzer.
- Windows: A graphics driver with OpenGL 2.0 or later

Fantinel Sant'Helena Friulano 2012
About the Region
Widely considered to produce Italy's best white wines, this wine region in northeastern Italy, abutting Austria and Slovenia, is divided into four zones: Collio, Colli Orientali del Friuli, Isonzo, and Carso. Collio is largely white wine country, employing such varieties as friulano (known as tocai friulano before the 2006 vintage), ribolla gialla, and malvasia istriana, as well such more familiar grapes at chardonnay, pinot grigio, pinot bianco (pinot blanc), and sauvignon blanc (called simply sauvignon here). The wines are typically high in acid, with intense concentrations of varietal fruit. The same varieties are grown in Colli Orientali del Friuli, as is another local grape, verduzzo, and a fragile cultivar called picolit, used for a well-regarded dessert wine. The region also yields a considerable quantity of lean but fruity red wine, with merlot being particularly successful, though there is also cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and a host of regional varieties unknown elsewhere — among them pignolo, schioppettino, tazzelenghe, and refosco dal peduncolo rosso. Isonzo and Carso are less important in the international wine market. Isonzo produces a pleasant sparkling pinot bianco, a range of table wines both dry and semi-sweet from a wide range of regional and imported grapes, and a late-harvest white wine often made from gewürztraminer, though other varieties are also used. Carso, on the Istrian Peninsula, is best-known for red wines made from the indigenous terrano grape and for whites based on malvasia istriana.

The assignee of Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi, Sheikh Ahmet Yasin's comments about Mr. Adnan Oktar
Yesterday, they showed me Mr. Adnan Oktar's, Harun Yahya web site. Superb. Masha'Allah, it could only be that beautiful. May Allah reward him. They have been kind, so kind and displayed suhc a kindness and placed our video there and published our speech just as it is. They have showed saying see that Sheikh Ahmet Yasin is confirming that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will come just as Bediuzzaman Said Nursi told, just like Imam Rabbani told with evidences and hadiths. I would like to thank them also. May Allah increase their strength insha'Allah. May Almighty Allah make them Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and us soldiers to him so that we can serve him. I was very much pleased. May Almighty Allah increase their strength. We will pray for them. Now some people will make something out of my words and say "Did you point to an address? Why did you not point to us? We have offered you such and such." They have offered me things that I have never seen in my life so that if I say, "Your sheikh, your master is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)" they will give me such and such, they will give me authority.
Tawba Astagfirullah. How could I answer fort his in the Hereafter? This world will pass anyhow. Our duty is to tell the truth. Would it be acceptable if a man who wants the truth fall into wrong-doing himself? May Almighty Allah make us from the righteous, from the sincere, from those with absolute faith.
Like I said, they have explained it with hadiths in detail on the web sites of Harun Yahya. You can look there.

More About This Title Selfhood, Identity and Personality Styles
- English
- Delineates a set of principles in the study of consciousness that place the first-person perspective at the heart of the analysis of emotional disorders
- Differentiates six personality styles, describing the origin of the subjective emotional experience; the ordering and the regulation of the emotional domain, and the psychopathological disorders
- Provides neuroscientific evidence showing that brain activity could be related to personality styles
Praise for Selfhood, Identity and Personality Styles:
"Arciero and Bondolfi show in fine detail how the sense of self emerges in first- and second-person experiences, forming a dynamic, emotive and narrative identity; they then brilliantly demonstrate how this self-identity gets distorted and disrupted in the pathologies that directly undermine this process. This is a landmark study that brings together materials from multiple disciplines. Their analysis provides a clear account of how our existential being-in-the-world is modulated by narrative practices. They show how the ongoing construction of personality delineated by the various emotional tendencies that are sedimented in the individual's life comes to be reflected in personal narrative. Arciero and Bondolfi continuously make insightful connections between research in developmental psychology, neuroscience, and emotion studies and then carry these basic insights into the realm of psychiatry. The psychiatric analyses offered here are thus enriched by clinical vignettes and enlightened by the integration of philosophical (especially phenomenological and hermeneutical), psychological, neuroscientific, and literary dimensions".
Shaun Gallagher, Professor of Philosophy, University of Central Florida
"Arciero and Bondolfi have written a timely, thought-provoking and challenging book, providing the reader with a refreshingly new account of Self-identity and its disorders. A cogent and novel contribution to psychiatric thought that wonderfully integrates philosophy, psychopathology and contemporary neuroscience. This book will push psychiatry in new directions. A must read!."
Vittorio Gallese, Professor of Human Physiology, University of Parma,Italy
"Selfhood, Identity, and Personality Styles is a highly ambitious work of theoretical synthesis: neuroscience, phenomenology, and social constructionism are joined together with the study of both literature and psychopathology. Arciero and Bondolfi offer sophisticated and intriguing discussions not only of mirror neurons and developmental psychology, but also of ideas from Aristotle, Kant, and Heidegger, of characters from Dostoevsky, Kleist, and Pessoa, and of patients from clinical practice. A ground-breaking, first attempt to show the relevance of the interdisciplinary study of basic self-experience for our understanding of character styles and personality disorders."
Louis A. Sass, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Rutgers University
"This is a scholarly book which will provide the reader with plenty to chew on. This book will make you think, will illuminate how people function and will help you understand how self disordered experience, such as the feeling that one disappears or doesn't exist when another leaves, occurs. The authors tackle with great sophistication, the big questions of how sameness, changing experience and temporality are woven together by language and narrative. Refusing to be reduced to the simplicity of objectivist account of functioning they offer profound phenomenological views on identity and emotion that show a deep appreciation of the complexity of what it is to be a person. Their analysis of functioning leads to the specification of inward and outward dispositional dimensions and using clinical and literary examples they provide descriptions of different styles of personality along this continuum ranging from eating disorder prone personalities, focused on the other at one end of the continuum and depression prone personalities focused excessively inwardly, at the other end."

March 20, 2005The following is the text of Mayor Bloomberg's weekly radio address as prepared for delivery on 1010 WINS News Radio for Sunday, March 20, 2005
"Good Morning. This is Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
"Last week, I had the honor of leading America's delegation to Israel for the dedication of the new Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem. It was the fourth time that I have traveled to Israel since being elected mayor. Some trips have been for happy occasions, like the dedication of a new wing honoring my mother at Jerusalem's world-famous Hadassah Hospital. Some have been to show New York City's solidarity with Israel, such as a visit to Jerusalem that followed a deadly bus bombing there in August 2003.
"This visit, however, went to the very heart of why the State of Israel exists, and why it must always endure. This spring marks the 60th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust. We must never forget the enormous atrocities that were committed then. These crimes against humanity are carefully and movingly portrayed at the new museum, which communicates a powerful warning of what can result from the most extreme acts of hatred. And as the Holocaust recedes into history, and the number of those who experienced its horrors directly dwindles, it becomes imperative to collect and preserve the stories - stamp them into our own hearts - and then sear them permanently into the consciousness of the world. That's essential both to stop the anti-Semitism that is once again on the rise in parts of the world, and also to promote an understanding that hatred directed at any group ultimately threatens the safety and freedom of all of us.
"Dignitaries from around the world were in Israel for the dedication ceremonies. The group that traveled to Jerusalem from America included three Holocaust survivors: Hanna Hirshaut of Elmhurst, who lived through the horrors of the Warsaw ghetto; Rebbetzin, Esther Jungreis, who survived the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp; and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, who endured imprisonment at Auschwitz. We were also joined by Daniel Kurtzer, our nation's ambassador to Israel, former Mayor Ed Koch, City Councilman Simcha Felder, radio show host Nachum Segal, and Michael Miller, the CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.
"While in Israel, I met with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, and Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski, whom I've also had the privilege of receiving at City Hall.
"I expressed to them the admiration that the people of our city feel for the courage with which Israelis live their lives despite the constant threat of terrorism that they face. Since 9/11, that example has been an inspiration to New Yorkers.
"The new Holocaust History Museum is part of a Holocaust remembrance center established in Jerusalem more than 50 years ago. It's called "Yad VaShem"-a Hebrew phrase that literally means "Monument and Hand," and that translates most powerfully into English as "Eternal Memorial. "YadVaShem truly is an eternal memorial. It is an enduring reminder that the most important lesson that all New Yorkers, and all human beings, can learn is: tolerance.
"This is Mayor Mike Bloomberg. Thanks for listening."

Welcome to the Future Of Mankind, the largest English-language resource for information primarily produced by Billy Meier, contactee of the Plejaren Federation and founder of FIGU.
The objective of this site is to assist the mission to improve the quality of life for all Earth humans by providing freely available English translations of FIGU articles. In order to bring peace to our world, great wisdom needs to be realised and then put into practice. Wisdom is only achievable when true knowledge is combined with honesty.
Thanks to FIGU and the Plejaren Federation, previously unknown knowledge covering diverse subjects is now freely available to everyone. Facts are mentioned which have been concealed and denied to the public. Such subjects include our true origin, problems on Earth and within us, facts about the universe, the laws of Creation and much more. The only urgency is to calm down.
If you require evidence that supports the truth of this information then, don't cut yourself short, you will find it in this website (See The Evidence menu section on the left), such as on The Witnesses page and the Spirit Teaching pages.

Peace Meditation
Everyone can help bring peace to our world, the Earth, by performing the Peace Meditation. It may now (2020) be performed at any desired and suitable point of time, in a group or individually. This time-based flexibilisation became possible through technological measures by Quetzal. For coordination with the others already participating around this planet, a schedule of the peace meditation (PM) can be found here, here and here - (see Time Zones (Wikipedia)). Using the Meditation Pyramids for the PM is no longer required, though remains recommended because it enables a connection of the meditating person with the 'relay pyramid' at the Semjase Silver Star Centre in Switzerland, which amplifies the impulses.
Meditation: see Meditation, Meditation Basics, Meditation and Life Itself are the Best Teachers, Meditation from Clear Visibility (book), Meditation from Clear Sight (Alternative), Meditation about death is important, Index and FIGU Manifesto - Peace meditation.

Hi, guys, I really nned help, this problem has blocked me for months.
In my project, I need to send out IR info through infrared red light.
I used timer2 to create frame wave , and wan to use timer1 to control interval.
But, the timer1 did not trigger the interrupt at desired interval , always far bigger.
I have tried normal mode and CTC mode, all failed.
As the attached files showed, timer2 works stable, but never the timer1 did.
I don't know if I missed some configuration or something.
Thanks for any advice.

Just like people, dogs can be allergic to something in their food. This often causes skin and/or tummy problems.
High temperature (fever) in cats
If your cat has a high temperature (fever), it usually means something is wrong.

Review - Norwegian by night by Derek B. Miller
I was at first quite annoyed by Sheldon, the 82 year old slightly demented hero of this book but he surely grows on you. Sheldon has come to Norway to live with his grand daughter after his wife died. He has only been here a couple of weeks when there is a murder in their apartment and he goes on the run with a small boy because he isn't sure who may try to hurt him. We learn of Sheldon's war history and how he lost his son in the Vietnam war. He had wanted to fight for America because although European countries were based on tribes, America was based on an idea – an idea for all who came to the country to share regardless of their origin. The strands of family and belonging that cloud his remembrance as he navigates an unfamiliar land are built into an absorbing tale of love and loss. He is hunted by the police and by the killers but the journey also gives him a new view of his adopted country and its beauty of land and of people. There is a dramatic conclusion when all the strands come together. By the end, Sheldon has become exactly the romantic warrior hero he always pretended he wasn't albeit with arthritis and much reduced eye sight. It's worth persevering until he gets you under his spell. Wendy

May I...?
This story appears in the December 1998 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
One of the biggest problems with mass-market advertising is that it vies for the attention of prospects by interrupting them. That's why TV commercials have been called "dream interrupters"-the TV show is your dream; the commercials interrupt that dream. That's not so good.
On the other hand, if nobody else is interrupting the audience, the interruption is effective for you. Unfortunately, that never happens-and there are so many interruptions these days that people have learned to ignore them. Television is cluttered with commercial messages, and the Web is even worse. That's why guerrillas are rapidly warming up to "permission marketing" on the Internet.
Why does permission marketing work? These days, people have the money to spend on products or services, but they don't have time to evaluate your offerings and learn why you're trustworthy. That's one reason online marketing is so powerful. You can use e-mail to communicate with people frequently, quickly and unobtrusively-if they've given you permission.
The name of this new game is to get people to point to themselves as hot prospects. With permission marketing, people agree to learn more about your company and its benefits, usually by registering their e-mail addresses on your company's or a related organization's Web site.
Your challenge is to persuade consumers to volunteer their attention. Tell them about your company and how your offerings can benefit them. Then let them tell you a bit about themselves. Over time, you create a mutually beneficial relationship. They want to know what you have to say. Once they know more and trust you, they can buy what you sell.
Seth Godin, author of Permission Marketing (Simon & Schuster) and owner of Yoyodyne, an e-mail and Internet marketing company in Irvington, New York, says there are four rules of permission marketing:
1. Permission must be granted. Buying names and addresses and then sending direct mail to these prospects is not permission. It's spamming, and guerrillas know spamming litters the marketing scene and is usually ignored.
2. Permission is selfish. Your prospects will grant you permission only if they clearly see there's something in it for them. You've got about three seconds to tell them what that something is.
3. Permission can be revoked. As easily as permission is granted, it can be withdrawn. On the other hand, it can also intensify over time. The intensity depends on the quality of the interaction between you and your customers.
4. Permission can't be transferred. Think of marketing as dating. You can't give a friend authority to go out on a date in your place.
Once people give you permission to market to them, then what? They want to get to know you better. They want you to solve their problems. This is your chance to show and tell them how your company can do that.
Interruption marketing is coming to a dead end, and the future will belong to those companies that take advantage of permission marketing. Will yours be one of them?

Mel Gibson sat down to speak with veteran Hollywood journalist Allison Hope Weiner on April 18th, the first interview Gibson's given since the public split between him and girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, and his firing from "The Hangover 2."
The interview, published on Deadline, covers all the bases, from if people were angry with Gibson for what he said on tape ("I was angry at me") to his current film project, "The Beaver."
Gibson said that, while he does regret what he said on-tape, what was said was taken out of context and re-edited.
U.S. & World
"You have to put it all in the proper context of being in an irrationally, heated discussion at the height of a breakdown, trying to get out of a really unhealthy relationship," Gibson told Weiner.
"It's one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day and doesn't represent what I truly believe or how I've treated people my entire life."
When asked if he would care if audiences held a grudge and wouldn't watch him act anymore, Gibson responded, "I don't care if I don't act anymore."
Gibson contextualized that he cares about audiences enjoying a particular project, even if it's not well received by critics. "[At] the end of the day, it's what did they think of that? Did they get something from it? Were they entertained? Were they educated? Were they elevated?"
Other points of note in Gibson's silence-breaking interview? His love of Whoopi Goldberg after she publicly defended him ("I love her for it") to his working relationship with Jodie Foster ("I'd give her a pedicure every day of the week if I could").

U.S. military operation targets extremists in Somalia
U.S. military forces directed a counter-terrorism operation against the al-Shabab network of Islamic extremists in Somalia, the Pentagon said late Monday.
There was no immediate word on whether the operation was successful. However, a member of the Somali group told the Associated Press that its leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane, was traveling in one of two vehicles hit Monday night. A total of six militants were killed, Abu Mohammed told the AP.
Rear Adm. John Kirby, Defense Department press secretary, disclosed the action in a brief statement Monday evening.
"U.S. military forces conducted an operation in Somalia today against the al-Shabab network. We are assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information as and when appropriate,'' he said.
No other details were released.
The action comes after Somalia's government forces regained control of a high-security prison in the capital, Mogadishu, that was attacked Sunday by heavily armed suspected jihadists who attempted to free other extremists held there.
Kirby did not say whether the U.S. action was related to the prison attack.
The Godka Jilacow prison is an interrogation center for Somalia's intelligence agency, and suspected militants are believed to be held there.
Also on Monday, the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) announced its forces, working jointly with the Somalia National Army, liberated several towns as they advance on their main target: the strategic town of Jalalaqsi.
"The Somali National Army supported by AMISOM forces have faced little resistance from their advancement as al-Shabab simply melted away when they heard the aligned forces are approaching," AMISOM announced in a statement.
The Washington Post reported that journalists in Somalia said suspected U.S. drones fired missiles near the port city of Barawe, a stronghold for al-Shabab.
It was al-Shabab gunmen who attacked the upscale Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, last year, killing at least 67 people.

Martin Freeman is officially Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. For a second there, it looked like he would miss out due to prior commitments. Then he was the frontrunner. As recently as last week, he was in negotiations for the role. But once Warner Bros. puts it in a press release, it's official. Can't wait to see him in the role, assuming the film eludes derailment.
Director Peter Jackson has recruited eight more members to play various dwarves:
- Richard Armitage (MI-5) as Thorin Oakenshield
- Aidan Turner (Being Human) as Kili
- Rob Kazinsky (EastEnders) Fili
- Graham McTavish (Secretariat) as Dwalin
- John Callen (Power Rangers Jungle Fury) as Oin
- Stephen Hunter (All Saints) as Bombur
- Mark Hadlow (King Kong) as Dori
- Peter Hambleton (The Strip) as Gloin
Hit the jump for a list of other actors under consideration, plus the official casting announcement, including quotes from Jackson about why he chose each actor.
You may recall that David Tennant (Doctor Who), James Nesbit (Match Point), and Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) are under consideration for unspecified roles; Ian McKellan and Andy Serkis are expected to return as Gandalf and Gollum, respectively. Deadline has thrown the names of Stephen Fry, Saoirse Ronan and Bill Nighy (as the voice of Smaug) into the hat.
Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Rob Kazinsky, Aidan Turner, Graham McTavish, John Callen, Stephen Hunter, Mark Hadlow and Peter Hambleton have joined the ensemble cast of the The Hobbit, it was jointly announced today by Toby Emmerich, President and Chief Operating Officer, New Line Cinema; Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.; Steve Cooper, co-Chief Executive Officer of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., and Peter Jackson.
Since The Hobbit films received a green light on October 15, pre-production has been in full swing. Set for release in December, 2012 and December, 2013, we can confirm that Martin Freeman (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Hot Fuzz) will play Bilbo Baggins, the hero of the story. Richard Armitage (UK TV's MI-5 and soon to appear in Captain America: The First Avenger) is set to play Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the Company of Dwarves which sets off to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from a thieving dragon.
"Despite the various rumours and speculation surrounding this role, there has only ever been one Bilbo Baggins for us," says Peter Jackson. "There are a few times in your career when you come across an actor who you know was born to play a role, but that was the case as soon as I met Martin. He is intelligent, funny, surprising and brave – exactly like Bilbo and I feel incredibly proud to be able to announce that he is our Hobbit."
He adds "Richard is one of the most exciting and dynamic actors working on screen today and we know he is going to make an amazing Thorin Oakensheild. We cannot wait to start this adventure with him and feel very lucky that one of the most beloved characters in Middle-earth is in such good hands."
Rounding out the Company of Dwarves are Aidan Turner (TV's Being Human) and Rob Kazinsky (TVs EastEnders) who play Kili and Fili, respectively. Jackson comments "Rob is an extremely talented young actor with a huge career in front of him, I'm thrilled that he has agreed to take on the role of Fili. Besides his talent as an actor, Rob is also a champion sword fighter; I'm looking forward to seeing the damage he can do to a horde of marauding Goblins!" He continues, "Adian is a wonderfully gifted young actor who hails from Ireland. I'm sure he will bring enormous heart and humor to the role of Kili."
The remaining dwarves will be played by Graham McTavish (Secretariat and TV's 24) as Dwalin; John Callen (TV's Power Rangers Jungle Fury) as Oin; Stephen Hunter (TV's All Saints) as Bombur; Mark Hadlow (King Kong) as Dori; and Peter Hambleton (TV's The Strip) as Gloin.
Jackson notes, "Graham is a terrific actor, with a great depth of experience, which I know he will bring to the role of "Dwalin. I have worked with Mark Hadlow on many projects; he is a fantastic actor. I am thrilled to be working with both of them on these movies. He adds, "I am also proud to announce the casting of New Zealand actors as Peter Hambleton, John Callen and Stephen Hunter. Fran and I know that they will bring great depth and talent to our Company of Dwarves."
The two The Hobbit films are being co-produced by New Line Cinema and MGM, with New Line managing production, Warner Bros. Pictures handling domestic distribution and MGM distributing internationally. Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Carolynne Cunningham are producing the films, with Phillipa Boyens serving as co-producer and Ken Kamins as executive producer.
The Oscar-winning, critically acclaimed LOTR trilogy, also from the production team of Jackson, Walsh and Cunningham, grossed nearly $3 billion worldwide at the box office. In 2003, Return of the King swept the Academy Awards, winning all of the 11 categories in which it was nominated, including Best Picture — the first-ever Best Picture win for a fantasy film. The trilogy's production was also unprecedented at the time.

Castamir †
The Kin-strife was a disastrous civil war in Gondor.
The unrest that created the Kin-strife began when Valacar, the son of the Gondorian king Rómendacil II, married a woman of the Northmen of Rhovanion, Vidumavi. She bore him a son Eldacar, but many Gondorians of Númenórean blood were angered by this mixing of blood of Middle Men and Númenóreans, and the coastal provinces rebelled when Valacar grew old. [1]
When in T.A. 1432 Eldacar succeeded his father the unrest grew into open rebellion, as many Gondorians saw Eldacar as a halfbreed who had no right to rule. The chief of them was his distant relative Castamir the Usurper, Lord of Ships, who in 1437 usurped the throne, forcing Eldacar into exile. During the rebellion Osgiliath was burned, and the great Dome of Stars was lost, together with its palantír. Castamir also murdered Eldacar's son and heir Ornendil. Eldacar fled to Rhovanion, and Castamir ruled in his stead.[1]
A full decade later, in 1447, Eldacar returned with troops from Rhovanion, at the same time a rebellion against Castamir's cruel rule took place. Eldacar managed to kill Castamir at the Battle of the Crossings of Erui, but Castamir's sons and many of their supporters fled south to the Haven of Umbar. Eldacar could not follow them, as the fleet was under Castamir's control.[1]
Not only did Gondor lose the city of Umbar for four centuries and gained a new enemy in the Corsairs of Umbar, descendants of Castamir's sons, but also many of the Númenóreans of purest blood were killed during the civil war, leaving Gondor weakened.
The Kin-strife was, along with the Great Plague, one of the chief reasons for the abandonment of the fortresses in and surrounding Mordor.
After the Kin-strife, the Kings of Gondor were generally cautious and watchful of those of near kin; the suspects often joined the rebels at Umbar, or renounced their heritage and took wives of non-Númenórean blood, further weakening the Númenórean strain of the House of Anárion. The repercussions were still felt centuries later, in the time of the last king Eärnur, when very few descendants of the Kings were alive; when he was lost in Minas Morgul, no suitable heir could be found to succeed him.[1]

When we first proposed our commission – You Are Here – for this year's LIMF, it was to be a piece that took as its starting point the centenary of WW1 – of how, a century later, the countries in our corner of the world feel about the notion of 'home', and of how that concept informs the music we make.
What does home sound like?
We wanted to work with musicians from the UK, France and Russia especially – because these countries formed the 'Triple Entente (from the French entente: "friendship, understanding, agreement"). And because, musically, we knew that would make for a fascinating stew.
The trio of nations formed an alliance linking the Russian Empire, the French Third Republic, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland – and created a counterweight to the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy.
That was it. It was to be an exploration of how music can both unite, and also locate us. In a time, and in a place. How the ground beneath our feet can shape the thoughts in our head. Now, 100 years after the trenches and the terror.
And then Russia clawed back Crimea, planes fell from the sky, and Israel and Palestine erupted into a full scale humanitarian disaster on our doorstep.
Meanwhile, many of us vented our anger at the fact that the Council had contracted out its security provision to G4S, a company that – it transpired – provides services and equipment to Israel's prisons (which hold Palestinian political prisoners) – places at which human rights organisations have documented systematic torture and ill treatment of Palestinian prisoners, including child prisoners.
Yes. The ground beneath our feet has shifted. So what should we do?
We should play on.
You Are Here feels more visceral than ever (although, truth is, we're still working on it…). The work – a joint composition between West Kirby's Bill Ryder Jones, Liverpool's Kof and John Hering (aPAtT), France's Moongai, Russia's Noonwraith and Archngl and the Manchester Camerata and ourselves might have a prescience we never envisaged. The specially commissioned artwork by Josie Jenkins, and the video installations by Christopher Marsh a resonance we could never have foresaw.
But mostly, though, we're amazed at how these artists have collaborated, in person, through Google Hangouts, file swapping and head scratching, problem solving and skill sharing. How we've made friends with some amazingly talented people from Nantes, and Moscow and Manchester.
About how home is an act of welcome, not an act of exclusion – and the more we work together, the closer we all become. That's what Yaw and the team at LIMF are trying to do: with its commissions strand, the festival is saying Liverpool doesn't just parachute in the same festival-circuit-going B list bands, and lazily sits back and counts the cash.
Yeah, there's the Radio 1Xtra stuff in the park, and MTV in Camp and Furnace, but we're not especially bothered about that. What we approve of is the city as a catalyst for something new – with Steve Levine's Assembly Sessions, Sense of Sound's Migration Music and The Quietus all pushing and prodding music into strange and wonderful new directions. Not endless flash mobs of Love Me Do singsongs.
Remember the horror of Mathew Street?
It's early days. But the signs are encouraging. LIMF is trying to do what the city does best – foster creativity and collaboration, and encourage understanding and diversity.
And that, more now than ever, is something we should support.
We do hope you can make it. We'd love to see you there. The piece will be performed just once.

Thanks for the Memories: Graduation Season, Here We Come!
Ahh, springtime! Amidst the bounty of sunshine and flowers, this colorful time of year isn't just the ending of winter and beginning of spring – it also marks the ending of an old chapter and beginning of a new chapter in the lives of many people, namely students.
Whether in high school or college, graduation season starts in the spring for students throughout the country, and it's most definitely a very exciting time. Some teenagers will be leaving high school and entering the exciting new world of college while some young adults will be parting ways with adolescence and preparing to enter the work world post-college. Spring marks a time of change and renewal (after all, we do have spring cleaning, right?), and the new chapter in life it brings to students is one that should be celebrated. (more…)

Gun-deer season begins in Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources collects wildlife data from hunters
Saturday marked the first day of gun-deer season, bringing hunters out across southeast Wisconsin.
For 25 years, James Rodefer, of West Allis, has driven out to the same spot in Eagle. He said the hunt has become an integral part of the cycle of his year.
"It just seems like it brings on the rest of the festivities, Thanksgiving, Christmas. So just enjoy it," Rodefer said.
He is one of the many who headed out to the woods across Wisconsin, guns in hand and on the lookout for deer.
WISN 12 News caught up with Joseph Repp of Waukesha as he was registering the deer he shot with the Department of Natural Resources at Citgo in Eagle.
"We'll go home, hang it up in my girlfriend's brother's garage, skin it, chop it up," Repp said.
The DNR collects data on all the deer reported to them.
Tim Lozotte of the DNR said they look at the age and sex of the animals that come in. They also collect samples for chronic wasting disease for its disease surveillance program.
When it comes to weather, hunters said some snow on the ground makes it easier to hunt.
"It is better if it's cold," Rodefer said, "it's better if there's snow on the ground. But I've got to do what I've got to do."
Rodefer said he plans to hunt every day that week.
Gun-deer season runs for nine days.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
Adam Smith, In the chapter "Of Colonies" in vol. 2 of The Wealth of Nations (1776), discusses how colonial governments exercise tyranny in the distant provinces but relative freedom in the metropolis:
The sovereign himself can never have either interest or inclination to pervert the order of justice, or to oppress the great body of the people. In the capital his presence overawes more or less all his inferior officers, who in the remoter provinces, from whence the complaints of the people are less likely to reach him, can exercise their tyranny with much more safety.
About this Quotation:
Adam Smith asks a pertinent question of the colonial powers Spain, Portugal, France, and Great Britain concerning the relative freedom experienced in the capital cities versus the often dictatorial powers exercised by their respective armies in the field. His response is that the junior officers are in awe of the sovereign when at home in the capital and the great distance to the colonies means they can act tyrannically because of the lack of adequate legal supervision. The exception is Britain, and to some degree France, in their North American colonies where the rule of law and respect for property rights has been transplanted and thus restrains the actions of the army officers when they are so far away from home.
